Hackney is clearly a smart lad - he saw the Ipswich move for the risk it was. He'd get a pay raise but if they don't go up, he's probably stuck there. So can't see him going to any relegation threatened side.
If an Everton or United bid... Then we may have a problem. But would surely make them pay through the nose to take our best player in January of a promotion chasing season, if we accept a bid full stop. Who knows, Hackney may even want to stay and there'll be a gentleman's agreement he can do whatever he wants in the summer.
Think this would give us a shot at getting over the line (in priority order)...
Bossman striker
Backup for Brittain
Replace Nypan's loan with someone like Ramirez who can make an impact now
Upgrade the Zorg
Sell Dieng and get a better backup for Brynn
Charlton never really looked like scoring from open play, their goal was a total cock up from our defence.
And on another day we're scoring 4, few great stops from their keeper and couple of close misses.
Onto QPR... didn't realise they'd snuck up into the play offs. Should be a tougher match.
